fine; the car has been in Grand Prairie Alberta with Amanda for two years now. No problem, even though I dont like the brake balance, Amanda has had no issues through twowinters there, and its horrible cold and lots of snow and rough roads. She has sphericals front and rear in the beam as well. all good.

she doesnt run the solstice wheels she left them behind, runs 17 inch Redline wheels from my car and Conti dws for summer and off brand snows for winter...

Oh so you share the polished IRL wheels, those are my winter wheels. Wish I could run a 18x9 (or is it 9.5) wheel like you but oh well sticking with the 5X110 so only PF01's are 18x8.

Just out of curiocity when is that tool expected to come? Has the previous guy shipped it?

I am hoping he has shipped itWhen it comes I need you to look at it, maybe share some pictures if it is beaten to crap and devise a decent shipping box for it. I will look after the costs.

I had two and a half sets of Redline wheels, not sure why I may have purchased some along the way. Amanda got one set, so I am now down to one set and one spare wheel. Those run on my SAAB for wntrbtr.

I find sets now and then some good ones too, but shipping kills most of the decent wheel deals.

I think 18 x 8 is enough. I get a little extreme sometimes is all. I ran 18 x 8 emk3 on R100 slicks in '09 for track work; car had a lot of grip nooo problem wasting the Bimmer crowd at the track.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I'm going to purchase some YYZ's here shortly. I have Enkei PF01 18x8. I'm leaning towards getting 235/40/18s again. Just curious on rubbing. Was thinking maybe a slightly taller tire like a 45 to close the gap since these will ride higher than my pedders coilovers that I'm ditching. Will be running some KYB Struts till I can snag up some Koni ' s at the ZZP Black Friday sale later this year..

We were specifically talking about the PF01 18x18 in 5x110 it only has one offset, you can look it up, I forget off the top of my head what it is.

I'm thinking of ordering CEDs YYZ v2 with brand new SSTC shocks and struts. That was nice to be able to see what it would look like.

In winter mode on steelies right now but I can grab a pic when I'm out. I have about 3 fingers of fender clearance on the summers, 4 on the winter.

I'm guessing you have varrstoen. Pic would be great man, really interested in seeing those with yyzs because all I've seen is them on coilovers.
